Christina,
You have some interesting ideas and you may be right about some of these
connections. I believe lupus and some ms is definitely related to endo
in that the same hormone imbalance plays a role in each. Also, there is
a book I think you definitely need to read, Dr. John Lee's book on
breast cancer. His website is http://www.johnleemd.com and his books are also
available in many health food and book stores. Take care!
